It’s not uncommon for money or economy talk to come up at the Thanksgiving dinner table, which can result in heated disagreements with loved ones. Money is complicated and people can be irrational about it. Family can become defensive when talking about financial plans or make you second guess your own understanding and decision making.

Meeting like-minded people is one of the best investments you can make in your financial future. Community has been a secret weapon for Kiersten and Julien (@richandregular) – a place to ask questions and get real-life advice about everything from debt payoff to wealth building. This week they discuss ways to find community online and in person, and the benefits of growing your social and support circle.
